Ok, I can understand that also. And even though I deduced the problem surely my answer can also not be the correct one to this problem,

One thing that I noticed through your last reply when you said:

"It correctly reports that the site tested forbids an SSLv3 connection"

Are you sure that you have a build with SSLv3 enabled? It surprised me a little bit but when I ran your test I didn't get the 'not supported' message either and I know I don't have SSLv3 enabled.

So I turned on extra debugging (use IO::Socket::SSL qw(debug4);) and it is only then that I get to see the not supported message. So now I am wondering if in your case: Was it the site that rejected it or your client?

Without debugging

IO::Socket::SSL version 2.056
SSL connection with SSLv3 failed
SSL connection with TLSv1_2 set up

After turnig on debugging:

IO::Socket::SSL version 2.056
DEBUG: .../IO/Socket/SSL.pm:641: global error: SSL Version SSLv3 not s
+upported
SSL connection with SSLv3 failed
...
SSL connection with TLSv1_2 set up
(program exits normally)

[download]

edit: Result with debug looked like fatal exception (as hippo commented below). I added the last line now for clarification. See ... above
